LINE HAVING HYBRID FIBERS TREATED WITH FRICTION REDUCING MATERIAL

摘要

A treated, multi-fiber line is constructed of at least first and second line strand whch are impregnated or coated with a friction reducing material such as Teflon, graphite, boron nitride or moly-disulfide. The parachute line may be braided or may be constructed as a line strand core encased with a cladding of the friction reducing material around which the second line strand material is arranged. The line strands are preferably selcted from the line strands of Spectra and Aramid.
